Decoding the molecular phylogenetics of ornamental catfishes (siluriformes) of North East India using DNA barcoding approach

CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the maximum intraspecific genetic distance of 0.03 and the minimum interspecific genetic distance of 0.14 were observed among the species. Therefore, it is evident that there is a barcoding gap among the species, which helped in the correct identification of the species. Thus, DNA barcoding helped complement the phenetic approach and also revealed a different phylogenetic relationship among the catfishes belonging to the Bagridae family.PMID:38637345 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-024-09487-5
